It’s been proven that the aviation industry is responsible for 2.5% of global CO2 emissions and this is an figure that the aviation industry has been trying to reduce for years.
The latest idea came from Justus Benad who was a student at the Technical University of Berlin and was then developed by a team of researchers at TU Delft (a Dutch University)… a V-Shaped plane which aims to improve the sustainability of air travel!
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines have now announced that they plan to fund the project in the hope to eventually progress to an emissions-free industry. The new V-shaped plane will use 20% less fuel and be able to carry 314 passengers similar to the Airbus A350-900 which holds 300-350. It does this through its aerodynamic design and the reduced weight of the plane. Although its wingspan is the same as a regular aircraft, in this case the wings are where the passengers will sit, meaning people will be sat in what would normally be empty space.
This concept still needs to go through even more rigorous testing but it is said to be a stepping-stone for greater efficiency industry-wide. The completed plane is aimed to enter service between 2040 and 2050 however a flying model and interior mock-ups will be open to the public at Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport this October as part of KLM’s 100th Anniversary!
Exciting times for the future of sustainable travel and the V7 team will certainly be excited to see a flying V in the sky!
